in all honesty if anybody hasnt purchased halo 3's DLC by NOW they probably will never get them. For the people who are getting the game THIS YEAR for the first time will have no interest in ever buying the DLC considering the low population and just how old the game is. If 343 removes DLC requirements for the 30 or so people that will get halo 3 for free than i will be at a loss for words. (Because lets be honest the population will not rise by much maybe by like 500 -1500 people will get the game, play it for a few days, than get bored of it again.) As someone who searches 50 high matchmaking i hope to god they dont remove the DLC because i dont want to play team snipers on sandtrap 24/7 or boundless slayer 24/7 most of the maps that shipped with halo 3 BLOW compared to the DLC maps, the only exception being the pit, narrows, and construct. Seriously -Snowbound, overplayed to the point where its like a plague. -Gaurdian, every retards favorite map its always a huge stall fest at 50 high, getting nade spammed on this map is extremely easy and the team that spawns on elbow at the very beginning of the match gets easy access to both camo, over shield, sniper, and brute shot. while the other team gets a shotgun. Its horribly unbalanced but no one ever notices. -Highground, this map is a complete joke with the spawns being hilariously bad. -Epitah, this map just makes me sad everytime im forced to play it. -Isolation, you know in all honesty this isnt that bad of a map in team slayer but its absolutely terrible in team doubles im 50/50 on this one. -Valhalla, this map just isnt fun to me it never has been i hate the long open areas without any cover besides a few trees, a giant hill in the middle, a few rocks, and a pelican. the DLC maps are far more superior and they deserve to be a requirement in the playlists. 343 please have mercy on the few poor souls left(myself included) who have no interest in playing any other halo past 3.
